The Canterville Ghost

American minister Hiram Otis and his family have recently moved to Canterville Chase, a grand estate just outside of London, even though the previous owners made it quite clear to the family that the home was haunted. While the Otises are a practical lot and don't believe in anything of a supernatural sort, a reappearing blood stain and the perpetual nocturnal visits of a rather noisy ghost with a taste for the theatrical convince them otherwise. Clearly the ghost is going to be driven mad by the very people he is desperately trying to haunt! The mixture of elements from traditional English ghost stories like clanking chains, creaking floorboards and ancient prophecies combine with American pluck and ingenuity and result in a good and entertainingly funny romp for the whole family.
